The post is really going all the way back to my early blogger time where I once wrote an article on Nina Dobrev's hair because she had long and shiny hair. Then one day I was so bored with my hair because I diddn't went almost a year to the hairdressser. So I googled about hair gloss treatments because back then Nina Dobrev's hairstylist recommended it. :)

A hair gloss treatment recovers your hair, making it more alive! It's like a deep hair mask treatment. Your hair should get a nice shine, frizz should be prevented and your hair should be super smooth.

At the hairdresser this treatment would be expensive (in Germany) so I wanted to try it myself and continued to google and came across the IGORA Gloss & Tone series of Schwarzkopf (this series is also used in hair salons). You can buy it in many shades but also in a clear shade- a clear gloss! I have ombre hair and a clear gloss is what I was searching for. The clear gloss dosen't dye your hair and makes it only shiny. You also need the suitable developer and I accidentally bought the biggest bottle of it. Together it costs about 16 € on the Internet.

Application:You have to mix the developer with the hair color (in this case a clear shade) in a 1:1 ratio. That means 60g hair color with 60g developer. The Igora clear tone is slightly yellowish and gelatinous and the developer is a transparent gel developer. Both smells perfectly ok. Then I mixed both and applied it with gloves on my dry hair. To make it easier to distribute I combed my hair to the left and right. Surprisingly one hair color (clear tone) was enough for my thick and long hair. Then I leaved it for 40 minutes in my hair. Afterwards it felt slightly hard because the gel color dried.

My result:I washed my hair with a normal shampoo and when I blow-dried it it felt so silky. My hair was so much smoother and I had no frizz (especially after the blow). My hair felt soft, looked and felt well recovered and was super shiny. But what impressed me the most was however, my incredibly soft hair tips! Here at the before and after comparison you can see that my hair looks much more alive and radiate.

My conclusion:I really fell in love with the Gloss Treatment and I'm glad I googled it again it and to have done it by myself. I'm really impressed with my little experiment and will do it definitely again. This gloss treatment should last for four weeks but I will update you on that. :) The hair looks simply so much more alive and recovered. It's really great for long and dry hair!
